Chapter 322: Ancient Cockroach (Part I)

"Captain Lavugin, Captain Eugene is here!"

Everyone's faces were shocked, and Ayton quickly shouted, "He's dead, and I was about to loot his things, but I was ambushed by those dark elves." ”

This statement was very shameless, but it made Ravukim, who originally wanted to open his mouth to shout to detain Ayton, stop his mouth, turn his head and glare at him fiercely, and quickly run forward, Ayton originally wanted to seize the opportunity to escape in the opposite direction, but there were two Templars behind him who were stuck in his retreat, and in desperation, he could only pretend that he had nothing to do with him and walked towards the place where the incident occurred.

I was secretly annoyed that this corpse should be disposed of.

Returning to the open space jutting out of the canyon, Ayton was secretly relieved to see the three Ariels who had disappeared on the other side.

"Sword wounds... Strangulation, it must have been the Dark Elves who did it, Captain Ravulkin, let's chase after it!" the Templars shouted at Ravulkin. The latter was about to give the order to pursue in the direction that Ayton had pointed before, but out of the corner of his eye, he still noticed the thin rope hanging from both ends of the canyon.

"What's the matter with the rope!" Feeling that something was wrong, Ravugin suddenly turned his head to look at Ayton, who still pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"This is my rope, I saw this corpse from the other side of the canyon, I ventured here, I was going to go back after searching for the corpse, but I was attacked. ”

But the Templars present were not fools, and while this statement logically worked, it was still too far-fetched and coincidental. The other three Templars took their positions and blocked all of Ayton's paths.

Fortunately, at this time, the kind-hearted Catherine rode over on the bright unicorn and said a fair word for Ayton: "Captain Ravukin, he may really be an adventurer who accidentally teleported in? ”

"Yes, yes" Ayton was 'frightened' and the ground turned pale, nodded repeatedly, and his legs almost couldn't help but kneel: "My lord, I'm really just an adventurer from the Land of Thorns, I originally wanted to come in and try my luck, but I didn't know how to accidentally teleport here." ”

Still staring at Ayton's eyes suspiciously, Ravukin felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground...

"Master, it looks like something is coming down the ground. ”

"Catch him and bring him back for interrogation!" Eventually, the decisive Ravujin sternly ordered, but the shaking of the ground suddenly intensified, and even the bright unicorn under Catherina's crotch felt uneasy.

"Oh no!, get out of here!" Ravukin's face changed, and the rest of the Templars tried to forcibly take Ayton away, but the latter realized that this was a rare opportunity and stopped in place to feel the vibrations.

Right behind Catherine!

At the same time, Ravukin and the Priest himself were also sensed, and the latter drove the Light Unicorn to leave, but it was too late.

Suddenly, with a piercing roar, a giant horn similar to a unicorn fairy and long oily yellow striped tentacles on both sides suddenly broke through the ground, and the huge horns instantly overturned the bright unicorn that had just started.

The next thing that caught my eye was a hard black shell with countless sharp barbs, then two sharp forelimb claws, a turtle-like head with scarlet eyes the size of a baby's fist, and as soon as the ground broke, her eyes fell sharply on Catherine, who had just risen from the ground.

This monster, Ravukin and Ayton felt that they had seen it before, and after thinking about it carefully, it was the fifth guardian beast of the ruins that they had seen in the murals of the underground palace, and the appearance was extremely hideous and hateful.

Everyone quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the ancient cockroach in front of them was about 10 meters long and 3 meters wide, and the position where it appeared happened to block the way they came, and now a group of Templars either faced the ancient cockroach in front of them, or fled to both sides, or climbed along the string to the other end of the canyon, with the size of the ancient cockroach like a siege chariot, it should not be able to jump this canyon at a distance of more than 20 meters.

"Protect the Chief Priest!" Ravulkin leaped, his blade bursting into golden flames, slashing at one of his front legs.

As soon as he moved, Ayton ran in the direction of the canyon, and Ariel and Starry Night, who were hidden in the woods on the opposite side, were extremely nervous.

But there were still two people who had been guarding him, one of them quickly drew his sword and shot to stop him in the direction of his progress, and the other directly cut the string, and the lone rope slid down to the edge of the broken wall on the opposite side.

"Come with me, I advise you not to think that we will show mercy to your men. ”

"......" Ayton stopped in place, and the sound of a sword blade slashing on metal could be heard in the distance, and when he looked back, he saw that the blade of Ravult Gold slashed at the leg joint of the ancient cockroach, and the latter was unharmed, but completely enraged it.

The giant horn of the head slammed into the Templar leader, but was easily dodged by Ravukin, and Catherine, who was unwilling to act as a vase, also cast six circles of light in a row to restrain its six limbs and feet, but the latter suddenly spewed out a mouthful of thick acid, instantly corroding the Templars guarding in front of Catherine.

The strong corrosive force made everyone's faces pale, and the two people who looked at Ayton saw that he had no intention of leaving, and planned to forcibly take him away by force, but the battle on the side suddenly changed dramatically.

Once again, Ravuljin slashed at the seemingly fragile joints of the ancient cockroach, but the latter remained unscathed, its huge horns chiseled into the ground like battering rams, and the two most powerful front feet broke free from the aperture and clutched at the Templars' foothold.

It seems that due to the fact that it had dug a tunnel underground, and the area was sparsely vegetated, a crack emerged from the edge of the battle to the sides.

The Light Unicorn seemed to be extremely disgusted by the creature in front of it, and the unicorn above its head flashed a dazzling white ball of light, shooting straight at the ancient cockroach and exploding on its surface.

However, the ancient cockroaches that were deeply polluted by the abyssal breath had become extremely sensitive to the light element, and they had sensed the light aura and dug all the way to the tunnel.

With the explosion of the ball of light magic just now, the ground also shook, and the ancient cockroach moved very slowly, but the two flexible tentacles suddenly danced, and the arc of dark magic danced on them.

Seeing the difficulty of this ancient cockroach, Lavujin ordered everyone to prepare to leave, but the two tentacles of the ancient cockroach suddenly shot out two lasers, accumulating above everyone's heads, forming a black ball of light.

Catherine also unleashed a strengthened 'Barrier of Light', enveloping the remaining three Templars and Ayton.

The cockroach monster's gaze roamed between Ayton and Catherine, its head tilted back, and then its two forelimbs stomped heavily on the ground, causing the clearing to jut out of the edge of the canyon to tilt slightly, and a few pieces of marginal gravel fell into the river below with a thudding sound.

"Oh no, this damn monster wants us to fall alive!" Ravulkin stared at the ancient cockroach's chaotic red eyes. The hands holding the sword slashed at the electric light screen that enveloped them, and quickly and easily broke through a single-person-sized opening, but this only lasted for a moment, and then it was filled by the black electric light gushing out of their heads...
